Nick Moss knows he has something special happening. “I feel like I’m one of the only bands from Chicago that’s actually still playing Chicago blues the way people think of Chicago blues. I’ve gotten [praise] from a lot of the old-timers that have seen us play, even guys that are not from Chicago like Kim Wilson, Rod Piazza, and Charlie Baty and Rick Estrin of Little Charlie & the Nightcats. [They say] it’s great to see there’s actually a band from Chicago that actually plays Chicago blues.” No question about it. Nick Moss and his Flip Tops sizzle in live performance hundreds of times a year, bringing their superior blues to clubs from Cape Cod all the way west to southern California with countless stops in between. Festival appearances abound each summer and fall, and stops overseas have become more frequent with each passing year. Back home, Nick considers Buddy Guy’s Legends as his favorite haunt, due in part to the great support Guy has shown him over the years.

“Nick’s just got it in him... The blues feeling ain’t nothing you can teach someone. He’s just got that feeling.” - Jimmy Rogers, late great guitarist


Lurrie Bell
2010 Grammy Nominee
Best Traditional Blues Recording
Chicago Blues: A Living History

Lurrie Bell, son of the blues harp great Carey Bell, has been steeped in the traditions of the blues since his birth on December 13, 1958. At the age of six, Lurrie picked up a guitar that he found lying around the house, and taught himself to play. Lurrie grew up around many of Chicago's blues greats - he was literally schooled in the blues. Delmark Records producer, Scott Dirks writes: "Regardless of how many times you hear Lurrie Bell play, he will do something to surprise you. To say he is creative and inventive is an understatement - each time he picks up a guitar he seems to have forgotten where the limits are, what boundaries existed the last time he played, and he fearlessly sets out on a new exploration."

"Perhaps the most talented blues guitarist of his generation … eclectic, accidental genius." – The Boston Phoenix on Lurrie Bell
